Yepp, it's quite good for the laymen to get familiar with this topic and to gain some deeper insight into the matter.

What I found curious however, was that a guy from Europe compiled these pages since there doesn't seem to be a significant Creationist movement on the old continent.
Or have you encounterd any Creationists in Heidelberg? ;-)

They're rare. There are little insurgencies of evangelic fundamentalism here and there, and you do find Mormons and Jehova's witnesses here and there, but for the most part Europeans see religion as a private matter. They're also not so stressed and paranoid about competition to Christianity, I've guess that may be since they've see what happens when you get competitive.

Evolution is taught in schools, simply because that's where the current state of science is, and it's not argued over. They figure if current scientific knowledge changes, then they'll change the curriculum, not the other way around. Religion is also taught in public schools and no one has a problem with that either.
